Carousel Widget vs. Stories Widget: Why You Should Use Both
Both widgets showcase your customer reviews to build trust, but they are designed for completely different places on your website!
📘 The Stories Widget
Where it goes: On a dedicated "Reviews", "Testimonials", or "About Us" page.
What it does: Displays an extended, scrollable feed of your published reviews and photos.
Why use it: It gives potential customers a dedicated space to browse through lots of real feedback, photos, and social proof in depth.

FAQ
I installed a widget on my website, but it's not showing up. What's wrong?
Check your website caching.
NiceJob review widgets do not work well with caching plugins (which are common on WordPress sites). These plugins save a frozen snapshot of your page, which stops live widgets from loading.
Solution: Turn off or clear your caching plugin to fix the issue and let your NiceJob review widget load.
Will the NiceJob review widget slow down my website?
No, not at all. ⚡
Our NiceJob review widgets are fast and lightweight. They load in the background, so they won't slow down the rest of your page. They also work great on mobile devices and most website builders.
Do NiceJob review widgets help with Google rankings (SEO)?
Yes! 📈 NiceJob review widgets automatically add fresh, new content to your site, which signals to Google that your business is active and relevant.
Pro Tip: Take your SEO a step further by adding service tags and location details to each story!
Can I control which reviews show up in the NiceJob review widget?
Yes, you have full control. 🛠
You can choose what gets displayed in three ways:
Pin: Pick your favorite reviews and pin them so they always show up first.
Star Filter: Automatically publish reviews based on star rating (like only showing 4-star and 5-star reviews).
Unpublish: Hide any specific review or photo directly from your Stories page.
Which review platforms will the NiceJob review widget show?
The NiceJob review widget displays reviews from any review site connected to your NiceJob account (like Google or Facebook), along with reviews left directly on your site.
